Yearly cost of religious tax exemptions

What you don't have a point, you break up someone elses point till it loses all context.

I separated out what you said so I could address what needed to be addressed. It's not an uncommon practise. Sorry if it's too complicated for you.

Good job. You invented a new logical fallacy. I didn't think it was possible, hair-plugs.

Obviously this is the best your minuscule intellect can come up with. Can't say I'm impressed.

Doubt anyone else is either.

But you still have given us no reason to believe that non-profit organizations need to be taxed. I'm not just talking about churches, im talking about all of them.

Are you even paying attention?

I liked Vinny's video; that guy was funny. Taxes are complicated shit, and we all seem to have our own idea of what should and shouldn't be taxed. I'd say most of us are equally as ignorant as each other, when it comes to understanding the actual complexities of any tax system. I started a debate about the subject of religious tax exemption on one of the Facebook pages I admin, and discovered a few things that I'd not previously considered. I'm going to trawl through the posts and see if I can find it, and if this thread is still going I'll copy/paste some of the responses when I get a chance. It made for some very interesting reading.

And that's chump change to what the US government wastes on failed projects and funding imperialist wars.

While your point on government waste is duly noted, it's wholly irrelevant when considering what should and should not be taxed.

71 Billion dollars is chump change?

The Russian defence budget for this year is 71.9 billion dollars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cou...penditures

Wasting the amount of money that a country like Russia spends on it's entire defence, is not simply chump change.


Regardless of whether it is 7 trillion or 7 billion or 71 billion that churches cost due to tax exemption, how is calling it chump change any defence that they should be entitled to waste such money?

*edit* damnit Creed, beat me to it.

Then tax all non-profits then.

Did you miss the post on the first page telling you the difference between certain non-profits? Or are you being intentionally ignorant.

Being intentionally just finished a fucking work-week and seeing 35 pages of back posts sort of mode.
